Is the nexus of worlds called Talenorn or Tanelorn? Are there some novel-type books about Talenorn?

It seems in fact interesting to have a couple of narrations about what goes on in Tanelorn and other sacred places while the EC's are not in town or when they are not under siege ....hmmm?
Who collects the garbage in Tanelorn, must pets be kept on a leash, are pavements wide and smooth enough for wheelchairs, which are the best restaurants, are there love affairs between pizza boys and female light beings ...?Google ergo sum

What about taxes and is there a Mayor?The cat spread its wings and flew high into the air, hovering to keep pace with them as they moved cautiously toward the city. Then, as they climbed over the rubble of what had once been a gateway and began to make their way through piles of weed-grown masonry, the cat flew to the squat building with the yellow dome upon its roof. It flew twice around the dome and then came back to settle on Jhary's shoulder. - The King of the SwordsComment

Given Mike's leanings, I'd assumed that Tanelorn would be an anarchy of some sort... favouring Kropotkin? But I can't recall if that view is supported by anything in an Elric story.

No taxes. No mayor. Populist democracy leaning to anarchy...
Easier when you have a little magic and stuff at your disposal. Not so many arguments about who does the garbage collection.Pre-order or Buy my latest titles in Europe:

...and nice, wide bicycle lanes* for achieving escape velocity?

Actually I'm beginning to mutter A bas les velos. There seems to be nothing else on French TV, these days. I used to prefer taking my chances with the taxis on my Royal Albert, when one false move had a cab mounting the pavement in pursuit of you. You cyclists have it altogether too easy, these days. Banging on honest people's roofs just because they don't ALWAYS look in their side mirrors...Pre-order or Buy my latest titles in Europe:

Some things in Tanelorn are not that different from worlds like our own…Originally posted by LEtranger
I just re-read The Dreamthief’s Daughter. At one point Elric is thinking that his next step might have to be a blood sacrifice, so Stormbringer/Ravenbrand can feed him some energy. He figures he’ll nip back to Tanelorn and find someone to kill. He muses that he might use a lawyer as his victim; it might not help much, but at least he’ll be popular with the other citizens.Comment
